Baron Wormser, Poet Laureate of Maine and Author of Songs from a Voice
The poems of Going Home are written with a journalist's eye, an educator's heart, an activist's gut, a poet's ear, and patience. "Work is taking something from it," Richardson ends the opening poem, and this taking is the poet's gift. In this collection, she asks," What do you give your time to?" We see her give it to the work that needs to be done-the futile campaign, the thankless task-whether it's getting out the vote in her hometown of Youngstown, Ohio, where "Votes float into errant flying digits;" "Recovering the bricks of disaster in redactions," while sorting through records of the Kent State shooting trials; working with and on behalf of children with autism, naming what needs to be named; or remembering tragic episodes that endow a life with history's longer life. Against the abuse of power-whether in the courtroom, the classroom, or the church-Richardson deploys the dramatic power of ordering, of the unanswerable question, of the found poem: "isn't death an everyday thing for everyone?"
